Is it possible to have a feature where the application checkes for updates every 7 days or each launch?
If so, please could someone point me in the correct direct to adding this to one of my applications.
Thanks

Well Ibwas creating installers but because I'm updating it a fair amount, i got bored of creating them very quickly.
So now I'm just building it and using the .exe
I stuck to this in the end. Thanks
Private Sub UpdateToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles menu_help_update.Click
Dim wc As New WebClient
Dim currentversion As String = My.Application.Info.Version.ToString
Dim Version As String
Dim Updater As Integer
Version = wc.DownloadString("http://site.com/fileversion.txt")
If Version > currentversion Then
Updater = MessageBox.Show("Theres a new verison available." & vbNewLine & "Would you like to download the latest update?", "Updater", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)
If Updater = vbYes Then
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.site.com/")
Else
GoTo final
End If
Else
MessageBox.Show("Theres no new versions!", "Updater", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
End If
final:
End Sub
